Cody began his climbing and guiding career on the sculpted meta-sandstone cliffs of the North Carolina High Country while attending Appalachian State University. After receiving a Bachelor of Science in Recreation Management in 2012 he gained his first AMGA certification as a Single Pitch Instructor. During this time, he worked as an Instructor and Climbing Specialist for Outward Bound, where he honed his signature instructing style, and also guided for a professional guide service in the area. There, teaching his students and guests on the challenging NC slabs and steep traditional lines, Cody developed educational and technical approaches to further enhance their efficiencies and enjoyment of the mountains.

Traveling the country, both living and working in the greater climbing areas and mountain ranges of the US, Cody continued through the AMGA’s rock programs to eventually earn the Rock Guide certification in 2018, the highest standard for guiding rock terrain in the world. He is currently undertaking the AMGA Alpine and Ski discipline programs as his next step towards international certification.

Hi I am Amber! I am a Mom, Wife and adventurer always looking for the next place to explore. I started climbing almost 10 years ago and have taken a different approach to climbing than most. I moved to Austin, TX 11 years ago to pursue a physics and mathematics degree at UT and have not used my degree since. I took a break from my studies to work at Crux Climbing Center and my world completely changed from there. Working at Crux introduced me to a lot of super awesome people (including Em) and organizations I could get behind. I have been all over the map at Crux - I have worked front desk, I was a route setter for 2 years (shout out to shitty sit starts on credit card crimps!) and now I am a House Supervisor for Crux South because we just opened a new location in the Highland area! I love climbing but I love climbing access advocacy even more. I was the Texas Ambassador for Access Fund TX for 2019 and 2020 where I volunteered for the Texas Director of Access Fund, Brian Tickle, on some important climbing access works. COVID-19 has hampered my ambassador efforts so I have recently started to explore broader definitions of access given the systemic racism and misogyny our country faces. I am still learning, I am always listening and I hope you are too! Shout Out to Crux Climbing Center for giving me the resources to be the best community advocate I can be, shout out to Brian Tickle with Access Fund for doing the good work, Shout out to my husband and son for always supporting my volunteer work and shout out to my brothers and sisters raising their voices for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women(MMIW). Please take a moment to research MMIW!

Brian is the Texas Regional Director for the Access Fund. He represents the interests of rock climbers before policymakers, as well as public and private land managers.

Since 2017, he has added protections for climbing in the Barton Creek Greenbelt and Bull Creek, and successfully advanced legislation shielding landowners of liability from rock climbing. He was also able to permanently acquire and protect Medicine Wall and Monster Rock for climbing, and has opened the Inks Ranch for a forthcoming climbing festival.

Brian started climbing around 2000, and has climbed nationally and abroad, in locations such as Mexico, Germany, and Morocco. Brian is a 10th generation Texan who would argue you can climb year-round in his home state.

Hey there! I’m Mario Stanley and for as long as I can remember, I have sought the outdoors and have been a competitive athlete. As someone who has spent most of their life in and around concrete jungles, the very smell of the wilderness quickens my heartbeat and sharpens my senses.

Rock climbing has proven to be the most disciplining experience in my life, causing me to not just look at what I want to climb but how I plan to complete the route. This involves mental, physical and logistical preparation. In my years of climbing adventures, I have come to learn that being comfortable in any and every environment will allow you to go far beyond your expectations -- so choose wisely when it’s your time for adventure. I trust Beyond Clothing systems for my adventures.

I offer the services of private and group coaching / training,  climbing clinic’s and public speaking. I also have a podcast called Sends and Suffers - take a listen when you get a minute!

Hi there! I'm Jamie, a life-long outdoor enthusiast and climbing addict since 2003. I’m mainly a sport climber but I’m aspiring to be a trad climber as well :) I love traveling to explore new climbing crags and gorgeous hiking areas. I’m hoping to have visited 50 states, 7 continents, and 40 countries (with climbing in 16 of those) by the time I am 40 next year. That is, if COVID doesn’t stop my plans!

I live a frugal life and work part-time as an emergency physician to fund my adventures. Love teaching and learning medicine.  When driving solo I am often nerding-out to medical podcast (but let’s not tell anyone).

I volunteer to teach medicine, to provide free medical care to those in need (sorry dirt-bag climbers don’t count) and always try to pick up extra trash outside.
